Planning Your Trip

Malta is a
miniscule country of epic cultural resonance. It is a European country that is a hodgepodge of
Mediterranean influences. Try
renting a car in Malta, drive around the country and speak with the locals;
you’ll hear different accents – Italian, African and Arabic. Malta is a quirky country to say the
least, celebrating eccentric feasts like feasts of rabbits and feasts of noisy
fireworks. Car rental holiday
tourists bathe under the Malta sun in reverence to its rich waters, a source of
succulent seafood. Drive your car
hire around Malta and you’ll see baroque architecture, prehistoric temples and
underground necropolis.

Going around
Malta

The streets
of Malta are adorned with cute 1950s buses that come from Britain. These buses are as quaint as the
country, often decorated with colorful trinkets. It may seem fun to ride the bus, but what you have to know
is that these buses use Valletta as its central area, so expect to keep
shuttling to and from this city. They
also do not have air conditioning so it can get sweltering hot during the
summer months. A great alternative
to buses is a Malta rental car, which you can get for cheap. Aside from getting awesome Malta car
rental deals, driving a car hire is made better by the road conditions, which
have improved significantly in the last decade.

From the
Airport

Being a tiny
country, Malta has only one airport, the Malta International Airport, found
between the towns of Luqa and Gudja.
It is often referred to as Valletta International Airport; Valletta is
the capital city of Malta and is 5 kilometers away from the airport. There are buses that go frequently
between Valletta and the airport although you may also pick up your Malta car
rental at the airport and drive to the city, which can be accessed via the main
road to Marsa.

Places to See

If you’re
billeted in Valletta, you need not go far to learn a few things about the
history of Malta. Valletta,
despite its compact size, is packed with historical, cultural and architectural
significance. So hardcore is this
tiny city that it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As you drive around in your Malta
rental car, you’ll pass by noteworthy sites like Triq ir-Reppublika and Triq
il-Merkanti. Visit the St. John’s
Co-Cathedral, which is part museum and part church. You’ll find amazing baroque detail and some of the world’s
oldest Catholic structures. Give
yourself the chills and drive your rent-a-car to the Hypogeum of Hal-Saflieni,
an underground necropolis with numerous spine-tingling nooks. Other ancient sites you have to see
before modernity completely overtakes are the Hagar Qim and Mnajdra. These are two exquisite temples perched
on the cliffs of south west Malta.
These date back to the Stone Age and never fail to elicit sighs of awe
and admiration.
